Look in the mirror and ask yourself the same question. Smile

Lawrence doesn't care about whether or not he races. Why do you?

I love anyone who actually makes racing excited in the 450 class.

The real question is: Why does he keep showing up and taking gates away from struggling privateers then not finish or even start?

I do to, but jumping gates, rolling rental cars and stealing radiators doesn't make exciting racing.

I had no idea that when someone gives you permission to take something its still stealing.

The struggling privateer would make more money racing the local A class than he would at a National. J-Law is helping the struggling privateer more than you think.

If they are struggling that much, Lawrence isn't taking anything away from them. They need to work harder.

You are correct you have no idea. If he had permission it wouldn't have been an issue would it?

J-Law isnt helping at all. Just because they are a struggling privateer doesnt mean they cant finish a moto!!


There is no reason for him to take a gate spot.


and Tiki, I agree some do need to work harder. But some just never caught the lucky break that others have. I know for a fact that if my brother had the opportunity to race a motorcycle for a living for a team, he would work his ass off and never let the bullshit come in between him and his bike. Some people want it more than others...

and J-Law has got all the talent in the world... he just isnt working to succeed. and its sad.

Its not, but when you take it when nobody is looking its stealing.

It is sad, everyone can see how fast and talented he is. But if he is knocking someone out of a gate position the truth of the fact is they just need to step up more. Catching a break may get you noticed but it wont let you keep the job. Hard work and determination is the key.

I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

What did he do now? I have read bits and pieces of something to do with borrowing parts from another semi but no full story?

Its just ridiculous now, from what I've read he showed up on the line to race and then just decided he didnt feel like it and left. Up until now I've been pulling for him, hoping he will come good and race because he is a funny, FAST, guy. But after today, I hope his career is over by the end of the year.

I'm sure we'll get another press release from his PR people saying he got food poisoning or he's dehydrated or whatever the f it is this time.

I feel bad for the sorry sap that has to come up with those pieces of garbage each time he does somethng stupid.

He had rehearsals for the Crusty Demons circus, he should fit right in there.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, I actually saw him finish a lap - it was the sighting lap for the first moto.

He is taking LB's advice about how to prolong your racing career by not racing. At this rate J-law should be able to race well into his 50's. I kid, I kid.....

Someone tell me how this guy is making money, and paying for his team?? Wey is the top finisher on his team with a 14th overall. Jlaw is 38th.




I want to see the look on his sponsor's face at the end of today - or better yet, when they have to write the check to J-Law racing next week...

He rolled around in about 39th for a lap or two, and then I did not see him again.

Although I don't care for his antics, I was really hoping he would throw down some fast laps and make a charge.

As much as I don't care for his goofball attitude, I want to see him on the track racing.
